The Name You Trust for your 
FURNACE REPAIR

As the oft-repeated statement goes, "Out of sight, out of mind." You will never know the importance of emergency furnace repair until you need one. That's why if your furnace is malfunctioning, schedule an appointment with professional technicians so they can discern what the problem is. These are the possible reasons to consider an emergency furnace repair.

1. Strange Noises Coming From The Furnace

It's normal for cooling and heating systems to make odd noises, but they shouldn't be loud, repetitive, and frequent. You will need to call a specialist like 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels to deal with the problem. The noise that your furnace produces may vary and they may suggest a specific problem.

Popping: A popping noise may be normal if it doesn't happen frequently. However, hearing a popping noise more often might indicate a serious problem such as a cracked heat exchanger, which can be dangerous as it can leak carbon monoxide.

Grinding: The components of your furnace require lubrication to prevent damage. A grinding noise from your furnace only means that the motor inside your furnace has been damaged.

Thumping: When the motor or blower wheel of your furnace becomes loose, the furnace produces thumping noise.

Rumbling: An indicator that a furnace has completed a cycle is when it goes silent. A rumbling noise after your furnace completes a cycle means that the fuel might still be burning. This issue might be taken care of immediately as it can be a fire and safety hazard.

3. Overheating Furnace

A furnace that is working too hard will start to overheat over time. In most cases, the furnace turns itself off when overheating through its sensor, but if the sensor is broken, you can't tell when your furnace is overheating. There are many reasons furnaces overheat such as a blockage due to debris or dirty filters. An overheating furnace can be dangerous as it can lead to fire hazards and breakdown.

4. Broken Thermostat

Thermostats need to be calibrated so they will function efficiently. Once they become disconnected or decalibrated, they will stop working. While it is easy to repair thermostats, this issue should be handled by an expert since it requires electrical work and recalibration.

5. Strange Odors

There are furnace odors that shouldn't be a cause for alarm, but there are also odors that you can't afford to ignore. If your furnace has a metallic scent, chemical smell, or sulfuric scent, you will need to call a professional like 1-800-Plumber +Air of New Braunfels right away to prevent serious issues.
